SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 667,645, dated February 5, 1901.

Application filed. Iluly 23, 1900. Serial No. 24,527. (No model;)

To ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AGNES S. BECK, a citizen of the United States,residingat450 North Baymond street, Pasadena, in the county of Los Angeles and State of Oalifornia,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag- Holders; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of said invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it most nearly appertains to make, use, and practice the same.

This invention relates to improvements in bag-holders, and particularly to jelly-straining-bag holders.

The objects sought to be accomplished are to provide a means for holding the mouth of the bag opened and provide simple and effective means for suspending and manipulating the bag when it is full or being filled.

The invention consists in the various matters herein described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a bag and holder constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan 'view from above of the same.

In the description with reference to the drawings the ring will be designated by the letter A, the bail and handle thereof by the letters B and C, respectively, and the bag by the letter D.

In construction the ring A is formed of a strip of sheet metal having wires rolled into the edges to give it form and stiffness. Struck out from the body of the ring A, between the rolled edges, are the hooks A, which are located at regular intervals around the ring.

The handle 0 is riveted to the ring A, extending outwardly therefrom, to be used while the bag is being filled.

The bail B is secured to the ring A by hav- The bail B is useful in carrying, hanging up the bag D to drip, or while the contents are being squeezed through the bag.

The hooks A are given a form best adapted to prevent the rings D from becoming disengaged by inadvertence and are strengthened by being given a slightly concave bead through their length.

The bag D is formed of suitable material, with a diameter equal to the ring A. The hooks D are sewed to the upper edge of the bag at distances corresponding with the hooks A. Y

The upper outwardly-extending rolled edge above referred to not only serves to strengthen the ring, but also produces a projecting bead or shoulder slightly above the tops of the hooks A, this head thus serving to prevent accidental disengagement of the rings. Furthermore, the said hooks being punched out from the metal of the ring openings are thus left in said ring, which form recesses-adapted to receive portions of the attaching-rings D, thus further preventing accidental disengagement.

Having thus described this invention, what is claimed is- In a bag-holder, aring having its upper edge rolled and extending outwardly to strengthen the ring and form a projecting bead, and suspending-hooks punched out from said ring and connected thereto at their lower .ends whereby openings acting as recesses are provided in the ring, the upper ends of said hooks lying slightly below the said rolled edge of the ring; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of July, 1900.

AGNES S. BECK.
